Comments Thread For: Andre Ward's Trainer: I Had Froch-Kessler II a Draw

[bronx7]

Froch Kessler 2 draw

No doubt ward beats froch in any country he has boxing IQ on par with Mayweather. That cannot be taught only legends have that. Am I the only one who is starting to think Hunter is drinking his own koolaid. Jabs can be taught how why where when and at what distance to throw them and what it can set up next is boxing IQ. Hunter didnt teach that to Ward he developed it through his experience of the one being in the ring. If it were so easy hunter would have another ward.

anyone who doesnt think Mikkel couldve gotten 6 rounds is just biased for froch...i dont think mikkel deserved any other round and i know people gave froch rounds where he set the pace even though Mikkel landed the cleaner shots and avoided the big shots...so i dont have a problem with 115-113 froch....but people are acting like this was a clear win for froch just because he won about 4 wide rounds....people need to remember the fight is scored round by round.

I also scored the fight a draw =/ same time I wouldn't object to a score card favouring Froch but I would object to a score card that had Kessler as the victor.

My thoughts exactly. This was a draw on my scorecard.

Ward clearly won the first fight but Froch came on strong in the later rounds and could well have stopped Ward if he put his foot down a couple of rounds earlier.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^


I think we can safely confirm that Froch has picked up the last remains of Ricky Hatton's fanbase. Never came anymore delusional than that lot.

Yea but still, Im glad. Froch is a piece of crap. This dude talks trash like he's a flashy, swift-handed, elusive, defensive fighter. He even keeps his hands down like he's Roy Jones. This dude is a slow azz bum brawler with power. I hate his trash talk.

What power are you talking about? He only stopped Bute and as far as Mack who doesn't stop that guy? Froch's got an ok punch, he doesn't have that much power though.

Froch clearly won the fight. Hunter just gave us the fake. We all have trained eyes. Froch's jab controlled the whole fight. Kessler had his moments, but he clearly lost.

I thought it was closer than what the judges had. Kessler was landing a lot of clean, effective shots.

Froch was landing, but not as cleanly or as hard as Kessler. I thought Froch edged out a victory with his activity and his jab, but it was closer than the judge's scorecards.

I agree with this. I either had it a draw or Froch 115-113. It was closer than the first fight.

That's what I thought too. Just one look at Kesslers face after the fight and he knew he had lost.
It was close in spots but Froch's work rate and his attitude to hit back twice when Kessler landed once edged most of the close rounds in his favour

A draw isn't that bad a conclusion. I had it for Froch by a couple of rounds. But in several rounds Kessler would land fewer, but harder, shots compared to the higher activity of Froch which wasn't as cleanly landed. I didn't conclude a draw but can see why someone would.

On another note, Adalaide Byrd's score was a disgrace. And this is the same judge that has at times laughed at other judges for their poor scoring!
